The Bureau learned of allegations of sexual abuse through initial inmate complaints, and subsequently through administrative claims filed under the Federal Torts Claim Act. All allegations brought to the Bureau's attention were investigated by the Office of Internal Affairs. Page 16576 EFTA00046087

Thanks, Dan OS: This is an incredibly troubling story and it's now a lawsuit. Was BOP aware of these reports in the past? It sounds like there were multiple reports. Please keep us updated. In general, how many instances of unwanted sexual contact are reported at BOP facilities each year FY 2014-2019; how many of these were inmate only related and how many were inmate and BOP staff related; and how many were male institutions vs female institutions? In regards to PREA, are only inmates at the facility interviewed? The story references inmates who were moved out of the facility and into other facilities in advance of PREA investigators arriving.

Anyone who complains is punished, lawsuit says. December 04, 2019 10:47 AM A Miami Herald 1-Team investigation into corruption, sexual abuse and medical neglect at the largest women's prison in the nation, Lowell Correctional. Reporting by Julie K. Brown /[email protected] By Emily Michel For years, male officers at the women's work camp at Coleman Federal Correctional Complex sexually harassed and assaulted inmates in what amounted to a "sanctuary" Page 16577 EFTA00046088
for systemic abuse, a space where they were shielded from any consequences. If the women complained about being groped, fondled or forced to perform sex acts on officers, the inmates were the ones who were punished. Fourteen women, ranging in age from 30 to 56 and nearly all first-time offenders, have banded together to sue the United States, not under pseudonyms but under their real names, over the abuse they say they've endured at the Bureau of Prisons- operated camp. Seven of the women are still incarcerated. The lawsuit seeks compensation and an overhaul of the prison. It was filed this week. An aerial view of the sprawling Coleman complex Coleman officials did not immediately respond to a request from the Miami Herald for comment. The litigation is the latest manifestation of dysfunction in a federal prison system that seemingly hit bottom when Jeffrey Epstein, perhaps the most high-profile detainee in the nation, was found hanged Aug. 10 in his cell at another BOP facility, the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, while officers dozed nearby. The death, which led to the summary removal of the acting director of the prison system, has been termed a suicide. It occurred despite what was described as a previous suicide attempt three weeks earlier. Although it touches on a second institution in Tallahassee, the lawsuit focuses primarily on Coleman, the largest prison complex in the federal system. Located in Sumter County near Wildwood, it houses more than 6,000 inmates in a series of compounds and camps, including roughly 500 women, the complaint says In stark, chilling detail, the lawsuit describes pervasive abuse — how women were coerced and threatened, how they were lured into private offices or remote sheds with no surveillance cameras, or stalked relentlessly by corrections officers until they had no choice but to submit. The officers — all of whom are identified in the lawsuit, at least by last name — would at times display computer screens showing the women the exact location of their families, a pointed message that their relatives could be targeted if the women didn't cooperate. Some of the women had minor children. In some cases, officers wanted to maintain relationships with the women after they had served their time, according to the lawsuit. Page 16578 EFTA00046089
The lawsuit says Coleman employed no fewer than seven officers who took advantage of their authority and access to sexually abuse the women. Some of the officers had been investigated for sexual abuse in the past, with nothing coming of it, the lawsuit alleges. The Miami Herald requested personnel files on all of the named officers to see if there were telltale warnings in their backgrounds. The Bureau of Prisons responded that absent an "overriding public interest," it would not provide such documents, calling the provision of such records "an unwarranted invasion of their personal privacy." The male staffers maintained total control over the women's lives, safety and well- being. At least one victim said she was ordered to begin birth control to avoid the possibility of becoming pregnant and another was given a morning-after pill by an officer. Page 16579 EFTA00046090
